AP 통신: 에릭 애덤스를 뉴욕 시장으로 선출하기 위해 허위 기부를 한 혐의로 6명이 기소됨
감시 단체인 커먼 코즈 뉴욕(Common Cause New York)의 수잔 러너(Susan Lerner) 전무이사는 애덤스의 부적절한 행동 여부를 판단하기에는 아직 이르다고 말했습니다. 하지만 그녀는 이번 기소가 뉴욕의 공공 재정 시스템이 의도대로 작동하고 있음을 보여주는 증거라고 강조했습니다.

Many Washington, D.C., lobbying firms have a minimum monthly retainer of $10,000 or $15,000, but some firms charge $50,000 a month, or occasionally more, said Beth Rotman, director of money in politics and ethics at Common Cause, a good-government organization.

“It’s a bit like when the parents hire the most expensive coach they can find to get them into the most expensive university,” Rotman said. ...
